Natural-born in Wilmington, New Castle county, DELAWARE, U.S.A. (the Diamond state), Joseph William III: Dombrovski began a nascent music career early (circa age five), becoming a self-taught keyboardist on his paternal grandmother's MAGNUS Electric Chord Organ, therein developing a rudimentary knowledge of music. In elementary school, at age 11 (6th grade), Dombrovski also became a self-taught drummer, having learned much through osmosis observing and listening to his musically advanced, younger-drumming brother, said brother having studied and practiced percussion formally since age 7. With junior high school classmates, young-drummer and budding-songwriter Dombrovski formed his first rock band. In high school (ninth grade), Dombrovski began privately studying percussion formally. He was also percussionist and section leader in marching band and percussionist in orchestral band, as well as member of several experimental, underground music groups. Several years later, Dombrovski attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, MASSACHUSETTS, U.S.A.
